Two men were arrested late Tuesday night by a St. Johns County Sheriff's deputy who said he had to chase them on foot.

One began at San Marco Avenue and May Street, when Deputy Von McKenzie tried to stop a vehicle with no tail-lights. He said the vehicle sped away to U.S. 1, where the driver tried to flee on foot. Christopher J. Huenink, 19, 3225 Calle Barcelona Ave., was arrested on charges of reckless driving, fleeing and attempting to elude, the sheriff's office said.

The other arrest started when a man was seen riding a bicycle after dark without a light, McKenzie said. This was near Woodlawn and Pearl streets. The man rode off, then ditched his bicycle and ran on foot, McKenzie said. The man had a crack pipe with cocaine residue in it and said he had just smoked crack in it, according to McKenzie. Anthony G. Sermon, 62, Cathedral Place, was arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest without violence.
